Software Engineer

As a COBOL Software Engineer, you'll be central to maintaining and modernising the platforms that deliver over £150bn in payments every year. These services are some of the largest and most important in the UK, and you'll be responsible for ensuring they remain stable, secure and resilient.

You'll work within our delivery teams, helping to lead refactoring work across some of our major COBOL applications, modernising how they operate today and preparing them for the strategic technology shift DWP is undertaking over the next decade.

This role has a strong leadership and development focus. You'll coach and mentor junior engineers, support those progressing through our Engineering Academy, and help grow the next generation of specialist COBOL talent. You'll also provide 3rd-line support when needed, resolving complex technical issues that require deep system understanding.

We can promise challenge and variety. One day you might be leading technical improvements to legacy codebases; the next, planning infrastructure maintenance, resolving live service challenges, or influencing how we deliver future modernisation programmes.

If you enjoy solving complex engineering problems and developing the next generation of engineering talent, then this is an opportunity to make a real impact and leave a long-lasting legacy on the future of public services., Join a Global Leader in Financial Technology - Become a Customer Engineer at NCR Atleos!Job Title: Customer EngineerLocation: Birmingham - Field WorkSalary: £30,000 - £33,000 depending on experienceHours: 42.5 per week across 5days with weekend work on rota basisMAIN..., Principal Embedded Software EngineerWinfrith, Dorset (hybrid working, 3 days per week onsite) - Permanent vacancyWe are looking for a Principal Embedded Software Engineer to work for our maritime defence client TKMS Atlas across a range of new projects, such as underwater...
